They bolted back in the 60's. Since we've played them 90+ times and started in the 1890s that means we practically played them every year till the SEC expansion.

Why did you guys stop playing them in 1987? Don't say expansion, because that was in 1992, and not announced until 1989. Maybe that's when the SEC added a conference game. I remember around then UGA said they could no longer play us and CU the same year.

Funny thing about AU-GT is that they refused to play you anywhere but Atlanta because they saw you as backwards. They refused to play the Miss school at all for the same reason. boy they thought their ish didn't stink. Those days are gone. I wonder how that whole "Notre Dame of the South" thing went for them.

Once they left, they would play you in Birmingham, then finally in Auburn.

We kinda pissed them off back in the day. Our students, my grandfather included, used to grease the train tracks when Tech came to play. The train would overshoot the trainstation by miles and they'd have to walk back.

People of a different era seemed to just know how to do stuff and what the effects would be. I applaud them for that.

But it also seems dangerous. I wouldn't be too proud of your grandpa. Plus it seems kind of petty. Also have to wonder about things like the Railroads. They didn't have much of a sense of humor in the old days.

And unless they were in on the gag, it wouldn't have surprised me in the least to have old grandpa there to grease the tracks, when suddenly a gang of big beefy thugs with clubs popped up with clubs to welcome the rural gentlemen. After all, they had to know it was coming.

Oh, and if you are froggy there are a couple more thugs on a hill somewhere with rifles if one of the yokels gets excited.

Auburn will be the toughest game on our schedule. That is not an easy place to play, and Auburn brings back a bunch from a team that just played for the National Title. Can we beat them....sure. Will we be favored....Nope.

I am going to go ahead and say that if Auburn goes 4-8 and one of their 4 wins is against us, I will put on a Auburn Cheerleader outfit and wear it during our next game with them.

I liked the AU is confused about USC's 3-4 defense, lol. We rolled on 3-4 defenses last year. As to the ground game, if we stuff the first few attempts Spurrier would abandon it and revert back to the pass.

Alabama should be ashamed of itself - it's being referred to as a dynasty program under Saban, but they are scheduling the weakest OOC schedules lately and their permanent cross-divisional rival (Tenn.) is among the poorest teams lately in the SEC. Last season's schedule was also bottom of the barrel for Bama too. They are a big reason why people outside of the SEC are looking at the conference's dominance with skepticism lately...

Still overall, the SEC has more conference members with 2014 scheduled opponents having a combined winning % above 60% than any other conference, and only one member shy (thanks again Bama) of tying the PAC12 with 0 teams below 50%. The SEC has more teams in the 60% or better category (half it's conference), more in the top 10 nationally than any other, and tied with the ACC with 10 teams having 2014 schedules that are in the top 50 nationally...

Auburn is loaded. Right now they sit at 13/1 to win the NC. That's with home games against LSU & USC & traveling to UGA & Bama not to mention an SEC Championship game. Pretty clear what the boys in Vegas think of Auburn

Wouldn't be surprised if they win the West again. Looks like they aren't going anywhere...

I noticed a few interesting things on the 2014 schedule.
First it looks like UGA has only 3 away games and USC has 5.
Also, UGA has a bye week prior to our game.
Another weird schedule is that Clemson has 8 home games.
Another interesting fact is that Alabama has only 3 away games as well.
